PASS theory of intelligence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Planning, Attention-Arousal, Simultaneous and Successive (P.A.S.S.) theory of intelligence, first proposed in 1975 by Das, Kirby, and Jarman (1975),[1] and later elaborated by Das, Naglieri & Kirby (1994)[2] and Das, Kar & Parrilla (1996),[3] challenges g-theory, on the grounds that the brain is made up of interdependent but separate functional systems. Neuroimaging studies and clinical studies of individuals with brain lesions make it clear that the brain is modularized; for example, damage to a particular area of the left temporal lobe will impair spoken and written language's production (but not comprehension). Damage to an adjacent area will have the opposite impact, preserving the individual's ability to produce but not understand speech and text.

The P.A.S.S. (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and Successive cognitive processing) theory of intelligence identifies three operational units that are important to understand mental functioning: attention, simultaneous and successive processing, and planning. The PASS theory of intelligence is based on the psychological work of A.R.Luria. The P.A.S.S. model is an alternative approach to measuring and studying intelligence.[4]
